The Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs of the Central Hockey League Thursday announced the signings of forward Shawn Limpright and defenseman Simon Mangos for the 2010-11 season. Both players were major contributors for last year’s Mudbugs, with Limpright leading the team in scoring and Mangos finishing as the club’s top point-producing defenseman.

Limpright joins Travis Clayton and David Rutherford as the three forwards signed by Bossier-Shreveport so far this offseason, while Mangos becomes the first defender under contract for the coming year.

“Shawn and Simon were both crucial parts of the success we had as a team last year, and I’m thrilled that they’ll be with us again,” said Head Coach Scott Muscutt. “They are both extremely talented players who can help your hockey team in any situation on the ice, but they’re also phenomenal leaders who have the character and work ethic to help set the tone in the locker room.”

Limpright, 29, signed with the Mudbugs for his eighth pro season in 2009-10, establishing himself as a team leader and a force at both ends of the ice. His 35 assists and 53 points led the team last year, while he ranked third in goals (18) and penalty minutes (87).

The St. Adolphe, Manitoba native took over the ‘Bugs point lead for good late in the season with 18 points in a 13-game stretch. He then continued that success in the playoffs, totaling ten points (4 goals, 6 assists) in nine games before injuries forced him out of Games 6 and 7 of the Northern Conference Finals in Rapid City.
